The Village Bicycle will be biking to the event. We hope to see you there. Let us know if you need us to bring any extra locks for you and your friends’ bikes.

Also Oakland’s new gay bar, the Vibe Lounge is AMAZING!!! Really, go there everyday, the owners are totally rad, the jukebox is hot, and the drinks are always flowing. Most gay bars in SF are mostly for dudes, with a few ladies nights. The Vibe Lounge has a good mix of all kinds of queer and non-queer people getting down and having a ball. They’re next to Rock, Paper, Scissors art gallery, so fill on your art and culture in one big alcohol-fueled night of fun.
